alice's wise words

I give myself very good adviceBut I very seldom follow itThat explains the trouble that I'm always inBe patient, is very good adviceBut the waiting makes me curiousAnd I'd love the changeShould something strange begin

Well, I went along my merry wayAnd I never stopped to reasonI should have known there'd be a price to paySomeday...someday

I give myself very good adviceBut I very seldom follow itWill I ever learn to do the things I should?Will I ever learn to do the things I should?

- alice in wonderland

i'm also prone to giving great advice to others that most definitely applies to me, and then staunchly ignoring it myself. the odd thing is, i'm perfectly at peace with this. i know what i should do, i know i won't do it, and i accept it. so maybe alice's song doesn't really pertain to me. i do stop to reason, i do know there may be a price to pay... and then i continue along my merry way regardless.
